To that end, grounded in a view of women as a rich, yet underutilized knowledge and labor resource, a great deal of recent attention has focused on encouraging women to pursue education and careers in science ? even in countries with longstanding dominant patriarchal regimes. Yet, overall, science remains an area in which girls and women are persistently disadvantaged.  This book addresses that situation.  It bridges the gap between individual- and societal-level perspectives on women in science in a search for systematic solutions to the challenge of building an inclusive and productive scientific workforce capable of creating the innovation needed for economic growth and societal wellbeing. This book examines both the role of gender as an organizing principle of social life and the relative position of women scientists within national and international labor markets.  Weaving together and engaging research on globalization, the social organization of science, and gendered societal relations as key social forces, this book addresses critical issues affecting women?s contributions and participation in science. Also, while considering women?s representation in science as a whole, examinations of women in the chemical sciences, computing, mathematics, and statistics are offered as examples to provide insights into how differing disciplinary cultures, functional tasks, and socio-historical conditions can affect the advancement of women in science relative to important variations in educational and occupational realities. Edited by three social scientists recognized for their expertise in science and technology policy, education, workforce participation, and stratification, this book includes contributions from an intellectually diverse group of international scholars and analysts, and features compelling cases and initiatives from around the world, with implications for research, industry practice, education, and policy development. 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aSociology 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a305.3 676 $a330 676 $a361 676 $a381 676 $a658514 702 $aPearson$b Jr., Willie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFrehill$b Lisa M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcNeely$b Connie L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298518003321 996 $aAdvancing Women in Science$92519411 997 $aUNINA
